Lou Fisher litigates complex facts and legal issues on behalf of corporations, legislative bodies, government officials, and other individuals. Lou's practice covers all phases of litigation, with a focus on dispositive motions and appeals, and he has filed briefs in more than a dozen cases before the U.S. Supreme Court. His experience spans a variety of subjects including breach of contract, oil and gas rights, labor and employment, antitrust, and constitutional rights.

Lou currently is representing an energy company before the U.S. Court of Federal Claims and before an agency appellate board in a set of disputes with the U.S. government over ownership interests in a large oil field. He also is representing a major energy company against a foreign government and its state oil company in litigation over responsibility for third-party environmental claims. In addition, Lou recently obtained a voluntary dismissal of an employee's claims of retaliation for alleged whistleblower activity under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. He also won, and successfully defended on appeal, a million-dollar judgment for a member of Congress whose privacy rights were violated when another congressman disseminated an illegally recorded tape of a telephone conversation among congressional leaders. Lou's trial experience includes victories on behalf of state government entities in complex voting rights litigation before special three-judge federal district courts in New York and South Carolina.

Lou is a member of the Edward Coke Appellate Inn of Court. He has written on voting rights law and on Supreme Court decisions in the areas of antitrust, employment discrimination, and property rights.
